Those feeling sentimental can relive the endless series of
snowstorms and fiendishly cold weather in a new
time-lapse video from NASA.

The animation stitches together imagery taken from space by
NOAA's GOES-East satellite every day from Jan. 1 to March
24, 2014.

The creator, Dennis Chesters, of the NASA/NOAA GOES Project at
the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., said in a
statement: "The once-per-day imagery creates a stroboscopic slide
show of persistent brutal winter weather."

The GOES-East satellite is perched in a geostationary orbit,
meaning it hovers over the same part of the globe all the time,
moving in tandem with Earth's rotation. The spacecraft captures
images of the Northern Hemisphere every half hour and then takes
a shot of the entire Western Hemisphere every three hours,
according to NOAA.

The images of clouds taken by the GOES satellite are used by the
National Weather Service to monitor storms. The 2014 winter
weather video also incorporates true-color imagery of the land
and sea obtained with NASA's Earth-watching NASA's Aqua and Terra
satellites.
